Rong Qi blinked, âMaybe, probably, possibly?â
âHmm?â Ye Nanshen emitted a sound from his nostrils.
Rong Qi looked wronged and submissive, âThey insisted on pinning it on me. Donât you know me? I just want an easy life under your protection. How could I have the capability to be a leader? Iâm more suited to be a slacker, right, Da Da?â
Ye Nanshen sighed inwardly, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Zhuang Ling, standing behind, wanted to pick his nose, blurting out without thinking, âMadam, you have the strength to make Master Shen take action. Why do you need his protection?â
The headaches Ye Nanshen and the others had in the Seven Sinisters these days were known only to them. If they had known Rong Qi was from Sevenfold Venture Group, they wouldnât have let so many good projects slip away.
Rong Qi glared at Zhuang Ling and asked, âWhat did you eat this morning, a bunch of Xu Yi?â
Zhuang Ling coughed lightly, âThanks to you, Madam. Because of your visit, we didnât have breakfast this morning.â
Rong Qi rolled her eyes at Zhuang Ling. She said, âS is short for my English name Sukie. The companyâs name is Sevenfold Venture Group. I never expected you to be the renowned leader of the Seven Sinisters in Ferica, Hades!â
What a twist of fate. Rong Qi hadnât settled her score with Ye Nanshen yet.
Ye Nanshen tightened his grip around Rong Qi and asked, âThen why does your profile say youâre male?â
Rong Qi touched her nose and explained, âAfter playing with investments for years and nothing in return, I thought I shouldnât embarrass women, so I changed my profile to male. I donât manage the company myself; a friend whoâs like Gu Ziye helps me with it.â
Ye Nanshen realized that ever since he knew Rong Qi was interested in a fake at the auction, he knew she could do anything except business, which was her blind spot. He sighed, a mix of helplessness and fondness.
Rong Qi, feigning nonchalance, asked, âDo you directly manage the Seven Sinisters?â
âYes. However, each branch has an independent guardian responsible for different tasks. Like Zhuang Ling, heâs in charge of intelligence.â
Rong Qi pondered. âSo, the orders for my assassination came directly from Ye Nanshen?â
âWhatâs wrong?â Ye Nanshen, seeing her in deep thought, assumed she was interested in the Seven Sinisters.
Just as Ye Nanshen was about to dissuade Rong Qi, he saw her stand up and turn to face him. Confused, he met her gaze.
Suddenly, Rong Qiâs lips curled into a smile. Before Ye Nanshen could react, she punched him in the stomach.
âUhâ¦â
Clutching his belly, Ye Nanshen looked at Rong Qi, bewildered.
Rong Qi, having landed her punch, ran off, not giving them a chance to understand what just happened.
âMaster Shenâ¦â Zhuang Ling approached, worriedly looking at his boss who just got punched. He thought, âMadam is too bold.â
In all his years with Ye Nanshen, Zhuang Ling had never seen anyone dare to hit him. Not even Ye Nanshenâs father had laid a finger on him.
Ye Nanshen bent over, clutching his stomach, and stopped Zhuang Ling from coming closer, biting back pain, and said, âIâm fine..â
